The Bridge

So... it's been a while, but here's an update!

Summer at the Bridge has been really great so far. I have been coordinating our summer program--definitely a different sort of job than what I did through the year! Now I am the one setting up activities, making schedules, and being in charge. It reminds me of my summer in DC in a lot of ways, although it is certainly not as stressful. I am learning and growing a lot!

Jed (my supervisor) asked me to keep a written and photo record of what we do (not something that disappoints me!), so I decided to put it in blog form. If you're curious what we're doing this summer, check out bridgeyouthministry.blogspot.com. Right now there aren't any pictures because I still need to get the permission from parents to do that, but I have pictures on my computer to put up when I get that.

To give you some idea of how the summer program is structured, we are doing two days a week of "Bridging Out." On Wednesdays we go on fun adventures and on Fridays we do service projects. It's pretty cool, and we've had a great turn-out so far! You guys should pray for us--this program is brand-new and I'm still learning a lot. :)
